Remember how a few years ago I told you that beside CINDERELLA, SNOW WHITE, ALICE, MALEFICENT and other tales, studios are also planning to do a live action version of THE LITTLE MERMAID? Well, they've finally moved from the spot by casting ChloeMoretz in the lead role! Universal has apparently hired Richard Curtis to pen the script for the movie which is still without a director after Sofia Copolla gave up on the project because, as rumours say, she didn't want a teen star in the cast!

As you know the story follows LITTLE MERMAID who falls in love with a
human prince whom she saved from drowning and dreams of growing legs
and becoming human like him. You will next see Moretz next January in sf
epic THE 5TH WAVE, an adaptation of RickYancey's novel.

'CHRISTMAS EVE' TRAILER

WITH PATRICK STEWART!

And we finally have a trailer for this December's festive comedy movie CHRISTMAS EVE starring Patrick Stewart in a story that takes place hours before Christmas, with 20 strangers having to celebrate the holiday together in six lifts due to a New York power outage. You can check out the first poster too!

I also think Belle will probably be the most miscast role ever seen on the big screen. How can you be Belle with that kind of face? I think Lily Collins as Snow White in MIRROR MIRROR was the best cast fairy tale character ever

as in fave animated movie or fairy tale? Because Andersen's tale ain't much similar to the Disney's movie and this one will be true to the original story, which means it will be darker, there's like a scene in which Ariel cuts her own tongue out :(

Christmas Eve looks good to me. I like the premise, although it is not a position I would want to find myself in. Patrick may have the worst of the bargain, being stuck alone, having to face his own nature. I'm guessing he will go through a significant change by the end.

Littler Mermaid has always been my favorite Disney princess, and I don't know what Sophia's problem is because we all think the mermaid as a 16 year old girl. I don't know how much I'll like this darker version, and I'm not sure I like who they cast as the lead either. Why couldn't they find some talented unknown who fit the bill a little better a chance to shine here?

It would be pure hell for me to be stuck in an elevator with strangers! Just the 30 second ride on a normal basis makes my skin crawl when I'm stranded in the cart with another passenger.

No, she just didn't want a teen star in it, she wanted an anonymous girl or a new actress... didn't want the teensy buzz around it. Most of today's teen stars are talentless brats... I haven't see Chloe in anything, but she does seem to have a violent choice of roles which I don't support. She does seem good in 5TH WAVE trailer, though
